What is Provide Value?
...
Why is it Important?
Solid financial and career success comes from providing massive value to others. If you skirt this principle, you will end up in a world of pain, with unsatisfying or ephemeral successes. People are attracted to those who they perceive as give out lots of value.

Provide Value: Key Points
In your business, career, and relationships, focus on providing the other party with as much value as possible. Counter-intuitively, the more you focus on giving others something good, the less you will have to worry about taking care of yourself, because the value you provide will make you valuable. The mindset to extract maximum value is backwards and will limit your potential. People will shun you once they see that you're trying to take more than you give. People will love you once they see that you give more than you take.
If you don't have sufficient value to give away right now, focus on how to generate massive value, rather than looking for more effective methods of leeching value from others. Yes, you can learn to become a every efficient leech, but this will backfire in the long-run.
How can you give more in your business? How can you give more in your job? How can you give more in you relationship? How can you give more to your friends? Start seeing yourself as a giver. Develop a love for generous giving without expecting anything in return.
